Yikes … Al Davis looks like death warmed over (PIC)
Al Davis made a rare appearance in front of the press to introduce Hue Jackson as the Raiders new head coach today, and … GAAAAHHH! What in the hell is that?!?

The 81-year-old Davis scared the holy bejeezus out of women and children throughout the land when he appeared before the assembled media with a troublingly emaciated face, and band aids covering what appear to be open sores on the legendary owner’s forehead. Davis has long been known to be in poor health, but this was shocking to just about everyone. His hands were shaking and his voice quivering throughout the press conference, which only contributed to the overall decaying appearance of the once virile owner.
As usual, whenever Al speaks, something interesting comes out of that decrepit old mouth of his, but we were too busy worrying about the poor guy to listen to anything he said today (OK, so we were really worrying that this zombie-like creature might come and eat our brains for sustenance late at night). The last time Davis spoke to the media, he was using an overhead projector to illustrate the reasoning behind firing Lane Kiffin, and also forgetting his new head coach, Tom Cable‘s, name. It had been over two years since we’d seen Davis up-close and personal, and quite frankly, we can’t help but wonder if it might be the last.

VIDEO: Eli Manning hosts the loneliest press conference ever
This is from the post-game of the Giants’ epic collapse against the Eagles on Sunday at the New Meadowlands … and apparently the entire NY press corps was over in the Eagles locker room slobbering over Michael Vick, because Eli Manning showed up for his press conference to find this:
Thank goodness that one guy showed up, huh?
It looks like Eli was just going to launch into his best Nuke Laloosh canned press spiel anyway, so he was probably psyched he might not actually have to answer any questions. Besides, Eli threw for 289 yards and 4 TDs, so he shouldn’t take too much heat … that comeback is on the Giants defense.

Terrell Owens beginning to melt in Buffalo
With Terrell Owens, it’s not really a question of if he’s going to start tearing apart the Buffalo Bills locker room. It’s just a question of when.
So after hauling in ZERO catches for ZERO yards in yesterday’s 27-7 loss to the Saints, all eyes were on T.O. during his post-game press conference. Was this the day he was going to throw his first tantrum in front of the Buffalo cameras? The reporters were blatantly egging him on, just praying he would throw Trent Edwards or Dick Jauron under the bus. But Owens was having none of it:
To his credit, Owens played it relatively cool, and stuck to the “I’m just going with the plays that are called” script.
But you can tell he’s just seething behind those designer sunglasses. After a 1-2 start and with less than 100 yards receiving, the Bills had better pray they can turn things around quickly, and get their star FA acquisition some more touches. If not, it’s only a matter of time before Owens loses his cool. Whether in the locker room, on the field, or in front of the press … it’s going to happen. And Trent Edwards had better have his big boy pants on.
